Working toward a sustainable future

We preserve the biodiversity and harmony of the habitat in which we live and work.

The estate was the first of the group to use green manure, a traditional agronomic practice which consists in burying specific crops, in order to maintain or increase soil fertility.

We preserve part of the local fauna and flora by maintaining 15 hectares of pasture and 10 hectares of wood.

We use the resources that nature gives us to achieve the goal of energy self-sufficiency.

We use photovoltaic panels that allow us to achieve 35% of energy self-sufficiency.
